ANNUAL ACCOUNTS AND AUDITS

With over 90 years experience working with startups across diverse industries we have perfected working practices that streamline the audit & accounts process. We make your life easier so that you can concentrate on running your business.

Annual accounts provide an essential opportunity for any business to review its performance, costs and margins – putting them in the best position to plan for future growth.

Swindells can provide peace of mind by seeing that accounts are dealt with in plenty of time, avoiding any fines, and giving sufficient warning of any tax liability

DAY-TO-DAY ACCOUNTING

Many business owners agonise over finance and bureaucracy when they want to be running and growing their company. We are trusted with our clients’ accountancy and tax issues including day-to-day accounting functions.

Payroll – from supply of payslips only to full service including filing of HMRC forms (P60s etc), holiday, sick and maternity pay management.

Bookkeeping- implementing a system that works well for you and makes end of year accounting more efficient.

Management Accounts – allowing clients to constantly track cashflow, profit and expenditure, usually produced on a monthly basis.

Company Secretarial – ensuring compliance with changing company legislation and meet all those filing deadlines.

Credit Management – cash flow is the life blood of any business and effective credit management is vital to support growth.

SMALL BUSINESS UNIT

Small businesses play a vital part in our economy, but still need to maintain proper records and comply with the requirements of HMRC.

Small businesses sometimes feel that they cannot afford the fees charged by larger firms of accountants. This need not be true. At our initial free consultation we will explain how we can help your business and, in the long run, save you money.

TAX PLANNING FOR BUSINESSES

Swindells help large businesses with the most tax efficient distribution of profits. These may include remuneration planning, dividend strategy and pension contributions.

We can also help with tax efficient means of raising funds such as the Enterprise Investment Scheme (EIS), retaining key staff using share options such as EMI schemes and planning for the future sale of your company.

There are also issues to consider when selling a business and Swindells can help with exit strategies. Factors to consider will include Entrepreneurs’ Relief, inheritance tax planning and the treatment of any gains.

FUNDING ADVICE

Ideally a business will grow but careful management is required to make sure that there is enough cash to meet working capital requirements.

Swindells’ corporate finance team can help those wanting to grow their business, whether that means investing in technology, diversifying, staffing up, acquiring or merging with a competitor.

We also help you sell your business and make sure that you pay as little tax as possible on that sale by careful planning.
